Picture Books about Seasons

Summer is winding down, and pretty soon fall will be here with cooler air and colorful trees. The changing of the seasons is a great topic of conversation for you and your little ones. You can build your child's early literacy skills by talking and reading books together. You can also help build early science skills by observing how weather, plants, and our environment changes throughout the seasons. Ask questions and follow whatever sparks your child's curiosity!
